tstonia 9th Mar 2019		78 RPM The Rhythmic Troubadours - Elizabeth / Elizabeth (1931)	Review From Paal's Record: The Sydney Morning Herald printed this review on May 23, 1931: "One of the most important novelties is the introduction of the double-track Regal records, the first of which was released during this week. The "double-track" record consists of two different versions of the same number on each side. On the outer edge of each side of the record the letters "A" and "B" will be noticed, which indicate the starting point of the sound grooves of the dual recordings. Thus, for instance, by placing the needle on the "A", we shall hear "Elizabeth" from the musical production "Wonder Bar", played as a fox trot by the Rhythmic Troubadours. If the needle is placed on the mark "B", the same melody is heard as a vocal number, sung by Lawrence Allen. The same applies to the reverse side. "A" is the orchestral version of "Love is Like a Song", the theme song from "What a Widow", and "B" is the vocal arrangement sung by Lawrence Allen. Recorded in London, January 31, 1931.
